Where Did He Go

Mother, where did he go, when I scored my first goal? No one told me to expect honour roll. Mother, where did he go, when I had my first date? No one told me not to come home too late. Mother, where did he go, when I got stopped by police? No one taught me that a fight won’t make peace. Your father left you, abandoned you here, I’ve had to raise you, but I love you dear. A terrible man, let me make you forget Here, drink this tea, your past I’ll reset. Father… Where did you go, when I was five? I worked at a desk and talked on the phone, I worked as a lawyer, when I was very much alive. Where did you go, when I was ten? I lost my job at the firm, I served lunches instead, But I spent time with you, I was happier then. Where did you go, when I was a teen? I taught you to skate, play baseball and hockey, But then I disappeared, and never was seen. Richard, my son, you have suffered like I Forgotten your childhood, and thought me for dead. But I am still here, only gone to the sky, Your ma brought me here with a club to the head.
